Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously spray a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the french toast doesn't stick to the pan. You can also add some melted butter on top of the non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture and turn it to coat. Another option is to pour the custard onto the baking sheet and turn the bread slices to coat each side.
Bake for about 6-8 minutes per side. After baking for about 7 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven and flip the bread slices. Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for another 6-8 minutes. *Since oven temperatures vary, it will depend on your oven so watch closely. Look for the french toast to turn a light golden brown color. You don't want to overbake.
Place french toast slices on a plate and top with syrup, powdered sugar, sweet mascarpone cream, and sweetened fresh fruit.
Sweet Mascarpone Cream:
In a medium mixing bowl, whip mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in powdered sugar and vanilla.
Toss fresh fruit with sugar in a bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to bring out the sweetness of the fruit.
Notes
You can use your favorite type of thick bread -- brioche, challah, Texas Toast, etc.
